So, what’s up? Time? Time for WHAT?

The first book in our Sam Travis Adventure Series is now available, and we’ve already begun the second!

Early readers are buzzing:

“This is a fun, entertaining, shocking and thought-provoking read.”

As Lethal Game appears in all online retail outlets and library ordering services over the coming week or so, you’ll find this fun new book on Amazon NOW.

Check it out HERE.

This book also inspired a new Facebook Group called

“Relevant Fiction: Stories with a Conscience”

Consider joining this provocative discussion group about novels (fiction) with contemporary social relevance.

Huh?

In this issue:

  2. NEW PODCAST: Relevant Fiction: Stories with a Conscience (coming soon)
  3. NEW FACEBOOK GROUP: Relevant Fiction is Available

1. New Book: “Lethal Game: Bears Under Siege”

Based on a true story from one of LT’s undercover ops.

Some people are dumb, okay? And Sam Travis knows this better than most. In his neck of the woods in the gorgeous Western Massachusetts mountains called the Berkshires, he might see headlines like, “Hunters should take care to target only legal game, not bald eagles or German shepherds.”

Really, people?

In this new book, this guy Sam tends to tangle with unscrupulous characters as well as civilians who just make dumb mistakes. Some are downright stupid-funny.

But when somebody kills Sam’s long-time partner, an older game warden who was Sam’s mentor and partner, the gloves come off. “There’ll be hell to pay!” he says, and he means it.

Let there be no doubt: through the course of this book, the feces do strike the reciprocal mass… at velocity!

2. The New Relevant Fiction Podcast – Episode 1

You’ll also want to catch the debut episode of my new podcast, “Relevant Fiction: Stories with a Conscience,” to meet the real-life incarnation of Sam Travis, my partner in this outdoor adventure series, Lieutenant Tom Kasprzak (retired).

You’ll learn what being an undercover operative is truly like in this episode, and why illegal harvesting of wildlife is a global enterprise involving some of the most unscrupulous characters on the planet. You’ll also better understand why such a criminal enterprise is not only dangerous, but an unconscionable crime against nature.

Meet “LT,” the real-world version of Sam Travis in Lethal Game.

In this first episode, I’m excited to interview Tom Kasprzak, a.k.a. LT, retired from the Massachusetts Environmental Police Force. His stories will curl your toes until they cramp. And then some. Lethal Game is a novel, but it’s based on a few of Tom’s more cringeworthy true-life experiences. And he made damn sure I portrayed them in authentic clarity. He provides the stories, I provide the storytelling. You won’t want to miss this first episode of the Relevant Fiction podcast.

You will receive a link to the first episode of this new podcast by subscribing (it’s free) at GKJurrens.com, if you haven’t already done so, and you’ll be the very first to grab your free episode!

Coming soon to wherever you get your podcasts (as soon as I recover my voice to finish recording and producing)!

In future episodes, I’ll explore socially relevant issues in some of my other books, as well as those of other authors. The common theme: social relevancy.

3. New Facebook Group: Relevant Fiction: Stories with a Conscience

Check out the new group HERE. Its genesis sprung from the new podcast above. My intent? This would be a fun forum to engage in further discussion after each podcast, which I hope will be thought-provoking. But it’s already becoming a nice safe place to express any opinion relative to fiction, except for hard-core politics. Serenity is fragile, is it not?

We’d love to see you contribute your own wits to this community, intended for anyone who’s interested in fiction that not only entertains, but presents itself as relevant to our lives outside of fiction. Maybe. You determine that. Fun to discuss.

And, oh, I can’t do this alone, my friends.

That’s it! So, until next time, and wherever…

Let’s roll!
